00:00Think Barney will like them, Steve?
00:28Oh, he'll like them, all right.
00:33Steve.
00:36Wasn't there a while ago.
00:39Kind of clutters up the view, doesn't it?
00:42Loopy?
01:08So, Barney, I'll see him after the rally.
01:14You tell me something, mister.
01:15Go ahead and pull that down.
01:19Why don't you be a good felon and put it back up again?
01:24You're a registered voter in this city?
01:26Oh, can't say that I am.
01:28Well, then this banner and this election doesn't concern you.
01:32Why don't you just move on?
01:48You figure Ned Easter's hired a gun to run his campaign?
01:52He did his greatest mistake since Buttermilk.
02:22Josh Randall.
02:41Good morning.
02:42Josh.
02:43What a wonderful surprise.
02:45It's been years, Josh.
02:47What brings you to Crater City?
02:49Hey, Carol here.
02:50Oh, you've got a speech to make, Mr. Canday.
02:52Go on.
02:53I'll make sure Josh doesn't get away.
02:54You mind, Josh?
02:55Not at all.
02:58Good luck, darling.
03:02You go on.
03:09I don't want him to know I sent for you.
03:12He'd be furious.
03:13He thinks he can beat them alone.
03:15Can he?
03:16Oh, Josh, this election's filthy.
03:18It's worse than anything I described in that letter.
03:22Sounds pretty good from here.
03:25Ned's worked hard for those cheers.
03:28Too hard.
03:30He deserves to win this election more than anyone alive.
03:34I want him to win, Josh.
03:36What's going to stop him?
03:37Our honorable Mayor Barney Pax.
03:39He's had this town under his thumb for years.
03:41He has no intention of letting a schoolteacher like Ned
03:44put him out of office.
03:45Well, if the people want Ned Easter in office,
03:48they're going to vote for him.
03:49If they vote at all.
03:51Barney makes things happen his way, Josh.
03:54He'll create convenient little accidents,
03:57the kind that scare people away from the polls.
04:00Why don't the people do something about it?
04:02What can they do?
04:04Barney's made his brother Sheriff just
04:06to keep their murderous tricks fresh and sweet and legal.
04:10That's why I sent for you.
04:12Maybe you can help.
04:14Maybe.
04:16See, Ned's the first man who's ever,
04:18ever had the courage to challenge Barney.
04:21He's going to need more than that.
04:27Where in the name of heaven did you get this?
04:29Well, it's my living, remember?
04:31I've never seen it before.
04:32I don't think anyone has.
04:33Steve Pax is one of them to stay in Colorado.
04:35You don't think his brother's going to let this poster
04:37be circulated around town, do you?
04:39Josh, this could win the election for Ned.
04:41I'd just do that.
04:44Oh!
04:48Oh!
04:51Oh!
04:53Oh!
04:56Oh!
04:57Oh!
05:05Ah!
05:13I'm all right.
05:20Look out, Josh!
05:24I don't want that, Steve. You hear me?
05:28It wasn't my idea, Mr. Pack. Steve said we should break up the rally.
05:35You almost took my arm off, Barney.
05:38Well, I should have. Scaring these nice people like that.
05:41Put this coyote in jail.
05:43What?
05:44It's where he belongs, isn't it? Go on.
05:50Say, Ned, I sure apologize. This is never going to happen again.
05:54Those fools might have hurt someone.
05:56Now listen to me, all of you.
05:58If anybody got hurt, anything got broken, charge all the damages to me.
06:02You hear that? I don't care what it costs. Charge it all to Barney Packs.
06:06Now come on over to Dolly's and I'll buy the drinks.
06:10That hypocrite.
06:13Buying votes. That's all he's doing. Buying votes.
06:17Become mighty cheap in this town.
06:23Takes a special kind of man to do a thing like that.
06:25What?
06:27A heart like ice and a little luck, you know.
06:30Barney Packs has them both.
06:32One soul, one heart.
06:36The time has come for you to demand and get clean government in this city of yours.
06:40It's time to sweep corruption out of City Hall.
06:43It's time to challenge this vicious and arrogant administration
06:46that has cheated and duped and exploited you for...
06:48Hiya, fellas.
06:50Hi. Come on over here. Looky here.
06:52Come on over and meet three beautiful new damsels.
06:55I'm sure you'll like them.
06:57I'm sure you'll like them.
06:59I'm sure you'll like them.
07:01I'm sure you'll like them.
07:03Come on over and meet three beautiful new dancers from Denver City.
07:06Hey!
07:08Cheer!
07:10Come on in my place and get better acquainted.
07:12Excuse me.
07:14Now, you didn't bring these girls all the way from Denver
07:16just to heckle up Mr. East's campaign, did you now?
07:18I didn't say that at all.
07:20Well, as long as you girls are from Denver, I'm sure you've heard of Steve Patrick.
07:23He liked to shot up half the state of Colorado
07:25before he skipped across the state line.
07:27They're not interested in that at all.
07:29Oh, at least I think that's his name.
07:31Yeah. Yeah, Steve Patrick.
07:33Says so right here.
07:35You don't get out of my way out.
07:37Where did you get this?
07:39Oh, I collect them. Got trunks full.
07:41Here.
07:43Ah, this is Mr. Easter's party.
07:45Don't you go away now, here.
07:49Mr. Easter, why don't you read that real loud
07:52so the whole town can hear?
07:54Wanted for murder.
07:57$1,000 reward for the capture, dead or alive,
08:00of Steve Pax,
08:02alias Steve Patrick.
08:27Matt!
08:29Darling, it's marvelous.
08:31You ought to hear the people talking.
08:33You showed them how to call Barney's bluff, Ned.
08:35They're not afraid of him anymore.
08:37That was Josh's doing, not mine.
08:39Thanks to you, Mr. Bramble,
08:41I may soon be hanging new grapes in the mayor's office.
08:43Or a wreath on Josh's grave.
08:45Ned.
08:47I want you to leave town, Josh.
08:49Now, look, Ned, we've been all through this.
08:51Now, you're practically in city hall, yeah?
08:53Sure, because you exposed the mayor's brother as a killer.
08:56But you forget that Steve Pax is our sheriff.
08:58He could put a bullet in your back and call it legal.
09:00Now, look, I'm not gonna go kidding myself.
09:02With any kind of trouble, I don't figure I can get out of it.
09:04Speaking of trouble,
09:06it seems to me I remember a corp from that Easter during the war.
09:09Went out of his way to get me out of trouble a couple of times.
09:12Is that why you came here, to get me out of trouble?
09:14No, that's not why.
09:16Come in.
09:22Barney Pax wants to see you, Randall.
09:24What's he want?
09:25Business, I guess.
09:27Come in.
09:31I'm going with you.
09:32Ned.
09:33Now, look, it's all right, Ned, you hear me?
09:35It's not all right at all. I won't have you going out there.
09:37Listen, will you do me a favor and just relax?
09:46Honey, I can't let him go out...
09:47Listen to me.
09:48Barney's not gonna let anything happen to Josh.
09:50The whole town would know he pulled the trigger.
09:52They won't stand for that now, and he knows it.
09:55I hope you're right.
10:09Not open today, huh?
10:11Decorating for the election.
10:13Only two days away, you know.
10:19He's right there.
10:25After you.
10:36After you.
10:44Where is he?
10:45He wait here. I'll get him.
10:54I'll get him.
10:55I'll get him.
10:56I'll get him.
10:57I'll get him.
11:24Doesn't look good for you, Randall.
11:26Looks pretty bad shooting a lawman in the back in front of witnesses.
11:57I'm sorry.
11:58You can't change the facts, Ned.
12:00Four witnesses are ready to swear
12:02that they saw Randall shoot my brother in the back.
12:04Josh Randall wouldn't even shoot you in the back, Barney.
12:07So I'm charging him with murder.
12:09Murder?
12:10Your brother's the murderer.
12:12He's wanted in Colorado, dead or alive.
12:14She's right, Barney.
12:16Your murder charge won't stand up in court.
12:19I'll take care of it.
12:20I'll take care of it.
12:21I'll take care of it.
12:22I'll take care of it.
12:23I'll take care of it.
12:24Your murder charge won't stand up in court.
12:26Court in this town's got a lot of imagination.
12:28Maybe this poster might appeal to your court.
12:32You know, there's a printer downtown owes me a few favors.
12:36He swears that he faked that poster for Randall
12:38just to smear Steve and me.
12:39Won't do any good, Barney.
12:41All we need for proof is a letter from the state capital of Colorado.
12:44That Overland mail travels mighty slow.
12:46Randall could be tried, convicted,
12:48and swing it from a tree before it got here.
12:50I wish it had been you, Barney.
12:52I wish it had been you instead of Steve.
12:55So, since you're not interested in helping your friend
12:58to a long and happy life...
12:59How can I help him?
13:01Pull out of the campaign.
13:03What are you talking about?
13:05All you have to do, Ned, is take your name off that ballot.
13:08You do it tonight, and I'll change that murder charge to self-defense.
13:11The dedicated statesman, aren't you, Mr. Mayor?
13:14You'd bribe, blackmail, even put a bullet in your brother's back
13:17just to get elected.
13:19Well, you got your ways. I got mine.
13:21Suppose...
13:23Just suppose that Ned refuses to withdraw from this campaign.
13:27Then Randall dances at the end of a rope.
13:30Think it over.
13:32Barney, wait.
13:35I want to see Josh first.
13:37Why?
13:39Well, I know you may have killed him the way you killed your brother.
13:43Come on.
13:45Ned, please.
13:52Come on.
14:00You were right, Ned.
14:02I should have got out of town.
14:05I like to talk to him alone.
14:16Let's go, boy. Let's get out of here.
14:22Come on.
14:31Josh, we haven't got time.
14:32Listen, Ned, you're going to be mayor of this town in two days.
14:34Now, you hear me?
14:35We can't be sure of that.
14:37Barney Pax is sure. That's why he wants you out of the running.
14:52Put your weight against that door.
14:54Keep him out as long as you can.
14:56Josh, don't be a fool.
14:58I was never meant to hang.
15:22Look out, Josh!
15:26Where is he?
15:28Where'd he go?
15:31Where'd he go, Easter?
15:33Sorry, I just didn't notice.
15:37Find me.
15:52There's no use, Easter.
15:54I'm going to put a price on his head and a target on his back.
15:57I'm going to post his face on every tree in the territory.
16:00He won't be able to travel ten feet in the daylight
16:03without some barney hunter putting a bullet through the back of his head.
16:05He's going to live like a gopher and die like a coyote.
16:08All right, Barney.
16:10You can have the whole ballot.
16:12The election's yours.
16:16I want it in writing.
16:17I want it in writing.
16:19A nice, flowery quitting notice
16:21that we can print up and post in all the voting places.
16:25You can pick it up in an hour.
16:31Ned, it's wrong. It's wrong to throw it all away like this.
16:35Listen to me.
16:37You're letting Barney Pax chase you out of your whole career,
16:39your future, your whole life.
16:41What about Randall's life?
16:43He'll get along. He'll always get along.
16:46Honey, I just cannot turn a good friend of mine
16:49into a fugitive for the rest of his life.
16:51I just can't do that.
16:53You're a good friend.
16:56Did your good friend ever tell you why he came here?
16:59What?
17:01What brought him to Crater City, Ned? Did he ever tell you that?
17:04No.
17:06I guess he has a right to his own personal life.
17:09Does he have a right to yours?
17:11What are you driving at?
17:13You're a good friend.
17:15He came here for me.
17:18Honey, you're imagining things.
17:20It's the truth.
17:23Look, you're upset.
17:24He's been writing to me for months.
17:26I've had to burn the letters to keep from being embarrassed.
17:29When you've been out making speeches at rallies,
17:32he's been here with me trying to talk me into going away with him.
17:37I don't believe it.
17:38Don't you see what he's like?
17:40He's vicious. He's trying to ruin our lives, your career.
17:43He ought to be smashed.
17:48Come in.
17:53I'm collecting quitting notices.
17:57It's ready.
17:58No.
17:59Sorry, Carol.
18:01A deal is a deal.
18:04Anything you folks need in a civic way, you know where to find me.
18:07I'll have these turned up tonight.
18:10My expense.
18:14You're a fool, Ned.
18:17I guess I am.
18:20Were you telling the truth about Josh?
18:22What difference does it make now?
18:26Where are you going?
18:28To find Randall.
18:30You don't even know where he is.
18:32The town's not that big. I'll find him.
18:43Come on.
19:14I want to see Barney.
19:16He's busy.
19:18He's not that busy.
19:32I want Ned's resignation, Barney.
19:34I've already taken it to the printers.
19:36You haven't had that much time.
19:38I've got a lot of work to do.
19:40I've got a lot of work to do.
19:41You haven't had that much time.
19:43All right.
19:45That Derringer only holds one shot.
19:47You think you can make it count?
19:49You'll know in a minute.
19:51Do I get that resignation?
19:57That quitting notice is keeping the news from around Randall's neck.
20:00I'm not interested in Randall's neck.
20:02You want him to hang for murder?
20:04That's his worry, not mine.
20:06What do you think, Dolly?
20:08Give her the paper and get her out of here.
20:11Get out of here.
20:41One move, Pat, and I'll kill you.
21:11Come on.
21:41Well, here's the resignation.
21:43Josh, I...
21:46I almost killed you.
21:49Yeah.
21:51You almost killed me.
22:12Josh.
22:18I...
22:20I've done everything wrong.
22:22Everything.
22:25I even lied to Ned about you.
22:27You have to speak a little clearer.
22:29I told him you came here because of me.
22:32That you wanted me to...
22:37What the devil did you tell him a thing like that for?
22:39Because I couldn't bear to see him quit.
22:42Being there was Ned's dream.
22:46My dream...
22:49Turned it into a nightmare.
22:53If he finds out, I...
23:04Randall?
23:10Carol told me why you came to Crater City.
23:13Was she telling the truth or wasn't she?
23:22Yeah, she told you the truth.
